Gloria Bryce Obituary
Gloria J. (Kortus) Bryce passed away peacefully at home on Saturday 18, March 2017, at the age of 63 after a heroic battle with cancer. Born in Pipestone, MN, and moving to Whatcom County at age 2, she was raised on a dairy farm developing her life-long work ethic, integrity and commitment to all endeavors.
Gloria was exuberant in her love for life and all that it offered including travel, other cultures, and most especially her 14 grandkids and 9 great-grandkids. The Arts brought her both pleasure and enlightenment reflected in her 18 years on the Shoreline / LFP Arts Council Board. She loved sports, both as a participant (playing in a woman's tackle football league, a volleyball team and as a 250+ bowler) and as an avid Seahawk fan. For the last 10 years she shepherded an unsightly Shoreline area from an overgrown blackberry/weed infested "jungle" to a wonderful community trail and was proud, honored and humbled when it was officially named "Gloria's Path" this past month. Her radiant smile and her effusive personality created instant friendships; she truly had a heart of gold. She balanced living every aspect of life to its fullest while taking time to savor every moment. For forty incredible, wonderful, amazing years, Gloria and her husband Herb traveled life lovingly together.
Celebration of Gloria's Life will be held at the Richmond Beach Congregational Church, 1512 NW 195th St., Shoreline, WA at 2:00pm, Friday March 31st. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Shoreline/LFP Arts Council, visit www.shorelinearts.net
